| About
NJ Best Video |
| The
genesis of NJ Best Video,
(formerly known as R and J Wedding Video) started back in 1985
when I and my best friend Richie were communications students
at William
Paterson College, studying television, radio, and film production.
Back then, the equipment consisted of the larger "tube"
cameras which hooked up to a portable recording deck. |
| The
format was 3/4 inch videotape, and film was slowly being taken
over by this "new" technology. Students were permitted
to sign on the weekends for special projects. At
the time during my "extended" senior year, a friend
who I had grown up with had a sister who was getting married.
So we came up with this great idea (it was back then!) of
videotaping Joe and Natalie's wedding. The rest is history
- NJ Video was born!
After graduation, my roommate, Richie who is now a successful
manager with IBM, came up with an even better idea. We would
start a small business videotaping people's weddings.
This great idea would help pay off all the student loans we
had accumulated over the 4+ years we had spent enjoying ourselves
in college. So we both invested 700 dollars and bought a video
camera, and we started taping friends' and family members'
parties and weddings. The business grew, since many of our
friends were in the marriage stage of life. |

In
1990 my partner and friend Richie decided to concentrate on
earning his Masters degree in business, so I took over our
company. Since then, I have successfully created over one
thousand wedding videos for brides and grooms throughout the
Metropolitan area. I have gained valuable experience and knowledge
by attending specialized seminars and workshops for wedding
videographers. These keep me up to date with today's technology
and various styles of documenting the wedding day. I currently
belong to four organizations for professional videographers.
In 2010, due to the expansion of the company's services and
demand for much more than weddings to be professionally captured,
I changed the name to NJ Best Video. I want to thank all of
my wonderful clients over the years who have made what started
out as a simple idea to help a friend, into a career of joy
and happiness.
If you would like
a free, no pressure consultation on creating the perfect wedding
video, please contact me at your convenience. I promise to
give you the same effort in making your day perfect as I know
YOU have put into planning your most important day.
Sincerely,
John |
